She added: “Jay’s grandchildren are beyond great, they are very accepting of me and we love each other just like grandmas and her grandchildren do.

“I always wanted to be a grandmother but was never interested in being a mother, they love me and have no problem telling strangers I’m their granddad’s girlfriend.

“It’s cute hearing them showing off about us to other people because to them age is just a number, they are cheering us on and defending us regularly.

“Also, Jay’s mother lives across the street from me so we spend a lot of time together, she finds it funny that out of all the women is his life the one who makes him happiest is less than half his age.”

The loved-up pair continue their Halloween business together as they bond over creating new ideas for props and scares.

Amanda said: “We love Halloween and bonded over building Halloween props in the early days of our relationship.

“We love scaring people, dressing up and getting all crazy and twisted, it’s a release that we can share together.

“One day we hope to expand our Halloween business and are always coming up with ideas for the haunt and how to scare people. Every year brings us closer together.”
